THE PROJECT DATA ANALYST
ACADEMY
Developed to future proof existing professionals and build organisational capability to extract insights from project data
Project Data Analyst Level 4 Qualification
There are huge untapped opportunities to be exploited in the rich
seams of data produced by the projects we deliver. The demand for Data Savvy professionals is on the rise, yet, there is a shortage of people who have the skills to apply data science in a project
delivery environment. Recognising this lack of capacity, we created
the Project Data Analyst Academy to deliver the Data Analyst Lv4
Apprenticeship test.
Why Projecting Success?
What makes us different from other training providers is that we don’t just place professionals through a training machine. We have laser focus on developing a bespoke data analyst programme that is tailored to each and every individual. Our provision is delivered by tutors up to PhD level and is targeted around project delivery. We build both fundamental data skills in business intelligence, coding, automation, machine learning and more through to niche specialised pathways. We supplement this with practical hackathons, with a regular £5k prize fund, solving real world, business facing problems, niched around the skills that will help to transform your role.
Our most recent Ofsted report “Apprentices rapidly gain new and substantial skills, knowledge and behaviours. They apply these well to support their employer and hone them further while at work. As a result, apprentices are showcasing the power of data analytics and how such analysis can transform a business.” Read the full report here
